Essential First Aid Training for Those Who Care for Children
Paediatric first aid training is essential for anyone who works with or cares for children and infants. Our courses are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of treating babies and young children, whose emergency care requirements differ significantly from adults.
Whether you work in a nursery, school, as a childminder, or simply want to be prepared as a parent or grandparent, our paediatric first aid courses give you the confidence to respond effectively when a child is injured or unwell.
Our 2-day course meets Ofsted and Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) requirements, ensuring you're fully compliant while being equipped with genuinely life-saving skills.
